No, but on a quick rewatch of the scene that confirmed the Terran Empire fell before telling her that there also hadn’t been contact with the Mirror Universe in about 500 years — there was a weird background shot of something happening with a forcefield to either seal them in or release them from something...  so…

That is probably related to whatever is going on with Georgiou.

I am not sure if it’s because many of these actors are from broadway, but the scene chewing and awe shucks style of dramatics has begun to grate on my entire being....

I mean, if you’re making the show in Ontario why not capitalise on it? Just bring on Atom Egoyan and Guy Maddin on for guest parts too. 

Aye I’m not saying the Control theory makes sense, I just see it presented as more than just regular stress and trauma. The dinner scene really seemed like she was under the influence of something more. It might have just been poorly done tho knowing this thing. 

So they promoted Nhan to a series regular this season and... get rid of her in episode 5. Bizzare and disappointing considering she was just getting some character development. There are like 3-5 members of the bridge crew that are less developed than Nhan and nobody would miss them. Weird choice.

I dunno, Detmers outburst at the dinner table felt a bit more serious than just some ptsd, I dunno if control is involved even if I think the show is often bad enough to do that, I was thinking it might be a more literal trauma to her cybernetic augments.

Which is exactly what happened with Airiam too. Given an episode and then unceremoniously airlocked.

It’s a shame to be honest, because you have all these characters, most of whom have been around since at least Season 1 Episode 3, and I’d love to know them better, but the show feels like it fights it at every turn.

I…

And then you get things like, hey, here’s character development for Nahn!

There’s a blonde lady on Discovery’s bridge crew that I didn’t recognize from an earlier episode. Is she new?

Ermagerd, they quoted Elon Musk. 0/10. Won’t watch further.

Eh, I’m willing to give it a shot, but I suspect it’ll remind me just enough of Person of Interest to go back and binge that instead.

Yeah, we’ll have to see how things go: while they could absolutely handle this badly, if they are going with the pronouns the actor chose, then you can hardly find fault with them.

It would also nicely confirm that the Prometheus crew had the intelligence of a toddler.

why the Mandalorians are supposed to know where Yodas come from?

My expectations are merely that the show be good. 

I didn’t like this episode.

It really tried leaning into the comedy which seemed to be at the expense of the plot. You’ve got this reptile mom who needs transport her for eggs, and the eggs we’re told (because we have to be told) are real important. But she decides to never really be by them, this allows for baby Yoda…

This episode, while moderately entertaining, was just more proof (as if we needed any) that this series just has zero interest in crafting sophisticated, meaningful story arcs.

This episode had plenty of potential. I love seeing the slow rebuilding of galaxy under the New Republic, I love getting to see the lives and journeys of people in galaxy who aren’t religious space wizards or criminals. I like seeing new creatures and planets and the effects were great.

I haven’t bothered to think too hard about Georgiou because I love Michelle Yeoh giving snark so much. But the show does need to remind us she’s a villain. I thought they were going some sort of Gaius Baltar/Dr. Smith from Lost in Space route with her, and maybe they still will.
